Hi everyone. I have little glitch that has become a pain.
I have a corrupt HD drive cable connector on my G5, where it attaches to my 120Gb Western Digital drive. I run a 1.6GHz / 1.5Gb / 80GbHD plus a 120GbHD. The copper terminals on the cable for some reason are all bent!. Unfortunately it is the larger of the two drive cable connectors, and it appears that on my model these are non-replaceable parts, only the smaller of the two connectors are replaceable. So I am just wondering what my options are here?
Does this mean my 120Gb drive can only work if I get an external case with a Firewire connection? or is there another way around the problem? If the former, does anyone have a second hand case I can buy? otherwise does anyone have a spare HD connection cable from a broken G5. I know it is almost impossible to thread the cable through under the grey plastic drive housing, without removing it, so I guess that I can secure the drive in the G5 case somewhere else? is this possible?
I use my 80Gb for all system files, web files etc, and the 120Gb for all my work files and teaching. So the 120Gb is important, and I just don't want to have to pay around $200 just for a case to house the drive. So if there are any alternatives I would be very grateful for your suggestions.
